I think it depends. In a rational team, the unilateral vetoer carefully explains their reasoning, and they know their belief has to be reasonably strong. (Otherwise they'd just step aside, after mentioning some objections.) But unfortunately, this article doesn't give the least clue of how their hiring process actually works. Does the candidate present in front of the entire team? If so, then (pretending I'm on the Stripe team) my teammates know whether my objection is totally outside reality, because they saw the exact same thing I did. Then I'll be under pressure to justify it.
